Busan criminal attorney, please help me.

Hello. This is the Busan criminal attorney.

It appears that you recently lent only your bankbook name to another person, and as a result, the bankbook was used as a daepo bankbook (illegal proxy bankbook), and you received contact from the police regarding this.

Since you are concerned about daepo bankbook punishment, I will respond.

A daepo bankbook refers to a bankbook where the actual user and the name holder differ by stealing a third party's name.

It is mainly used in crimes such as voice phishing and illegal gambling.

In particular, in illegal gambling, daepo bankbooks are used to manage or withdraw gambling funds.

If your bankbook was used as a daepo bankbook for illegal gambling or other purposes, you may be punished for violating the Electronic Financial Transactions Act.

Daepo bankbook punishment for the act of hiding or disguising property obtained illegally can result in imprisonment of up to 5 years or fines of up to 30 million won.

Also, the act of arbitrarily withdrawing money deposited in a daepo bankbook may be subject to confiscation, which is a punishment that confiscates criminal proceeds or makes the value paid.

In such situations, quick response is needed, and since laws related to illegal gambling are applied very strictly, it is important to prepare specific response measures through consultation with a Busan criminal attorney.

If your bankbook is confirmed to have been used as a daepo bankbook, measures may be needed to avoid punishment under relevant laws.

Please prepare well for the case progression and response method through professional advice from a Busan criminal attorney.
